Rasmussen: Just 8% Now Claim Tea Party Membership
Monday, 07 Jan 2013 01:00 PM
Views of the Tea Party movement are at their lowest point ever, with voters for the first time evenly divided when asked to match the views of the average Tea Party member against those of the average member of Congress, according to Rasmussen Reports.
Only eight percent now say they are members of the Tea Party, down from a high of 24 percent in April 2010 just after passage of the national health care law.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 30 percent of likely U.S. voters now have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party. Half (49 percent) of voters have an unfavorable view of the movement. Twenty-one percent are undecided.
-------------------------------
Sixteen percent of Republicans now say they are Tea Party members, compared to two percent of Democrats and eight percent of voters not affiliated with either major party.
